CUBE Elite 240 C:62 SLX

CUBE Elite 240 C:62 SLX

A really lightweight bike won't win races on its own. But it's a good starting point. For the junior whippet in your family, the Elite 240 C:62 SLX ticks all the right boxes. Its lightweight carbon frame and fork – perfectly proportioned for smaller riders – are just the beginning. We chose light, tough Newmen wheels and ultra-light Schwalbe Aerothan inner tubes for quick acceleration. Powered them with a CUBE Action Rookies crank and Sram GX 1x11 transmission. And added child-proportioned handlebars, grips and brake levers – connected to powerful Magura MT8 Pro hydraulic discs – for perfect race day control, whatever the conditions. All that's left is to pedal... and win!

Frame Details

We know from working with elite racers that they want a frame that's stiff, responsive and, above all, light. So these are exactly the qualities we built into our Elite 240 C:62's lightweight carbon frame, but scaled down perfectly to fit younger riders. Every single detail of the frame design is aimed at reducing weight without sacrificing strength or stiffness. A tapered head tube, full carbon fork and 12mm thru axles front and rear ensure precise steering and efficient power transfer. We kept the seatstays narrow for a comfortable ride. And cables are routed internally for long-lasting precise shifting, so mum and dad can spend less time tweaking and more time cheering.
